Game 78: Goons @ Maple Leafs, 7:00pm, Does anyone still care?

[Bender]

The Leafs are friggen bumping into each other. Wow. I'm glad I didn't pay to watch this game.

I'm going to be in my grave before this team makes the playoffs.  There is no reason at all for hope.  It is a shame.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

I've just thought what an embarrassment the Winter Classic will be.  7 - 1 Wings.  You heard it here first.

"Let's Go Blue Jays" chants.  ;D

 

[Kin]

The same reason he would be more than willing to fight Pheneuf or Schenn if they were asking.  He gets involved in crap all night long and answers the bell when it benefits him.

That's really no different from how Phaneuf fights.

They've got nothing to play for, they've looked terrible for a few weeks, might as well wait until next season to see how it looks.  They didn't look this bad all season, maybe they can get back.

Regardless, they've played Detroit well since the lockout.

H, E, double hockey sticks

I think that's my worry.  They'll have nothing to play for after the first 20 games next year.

7 rookies on the Flyers, plus Giroux is 24, Simmonds is 23, Voracek is 22...That's a heck of a lineup going forward.

The  "Lets go Blue Jays" chant makes me laugh and sad at the same time.

 

[Bender]

Oh captain! My captain?

They do have an excellent record this spring.  Do you think AA knows anything about hockey?

It's pretty crazy that their lineup wasn't even really bolstered by their 2nd overall pick season where they got VanReimsdyk.  That whole roster is either mid-to-late round Philly draft picks, or acquired through trades of said drafted players, and UFA's.

That's some good drafting/trading.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Bit of a douchey move on Phaneuf.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

Poor Rynnas.

 

[Deebo]

The hit in the corner was fine I thought, the slashing after the whistle was little much, but not really anything we don't typically see in blowouts.

 

[Kessel Run]

13 shots? Really?

 

[pnjunction]

Poor Rynnas.

Yep.  :-[

What an embarrassment this team is.

I agree but more than that Holmgren has to get a ton of credit for the guts it took to blow up the team last summer. He took a big risk dealing Richards/Carter but those trades netted the team Voracek, Simmonds, Schenn and Coutourier.

I don't know if the NHL has an executive of the year award but I think he'd have to be the front runner along with Sather or Doug Armstrong.

Man, it's one thing to lose, but to get humiliated like this is hard to take. Show some pride.
